The Changeling is a novel written by Victor Lavalle. It follows Apollo, a rare book collector, with a beautiful young wife named Emma and a kid on the way. He’s looking forward to being a father and to being a better father than his father ever was. But things take a turn not long after the baby is born.The Changeling is a modern day horror/ dark fairy tale: think Grimm’s fairy tales before they were bowdlerised. It’s at times frightening, funny, touching, and frustrating. It touches on the darkest parts of old stories and urban legends...old world ways and new technologies.In 2023, it was adapted into a TV miniseries on Apple TV+, written by Kelly Marcel and starring Lakeith Stanfield as Apollo and Clark Backo as Emma.

Meaningful Name: Apollo is named after a god associated with the sun, and ends up killing a troll; traditionally, one of the ways to kill a troll is by exposing them to sunlight, which turns them to stone.
